Maybe where you are staying, you might be able to give them to the front desk to distribute?

Belize is all about beaches, swimming and snorkelling, so make sure to pack at least one swimsuit.
The first thing you need to pack in your toiletry bag are your daily essentials. This includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, shampoo, shower gel, deodorant, razor and shaving gel. Pack any moisturisers that you need and, if you have very sensitive skin, consider bringing an after sun lotion. Shampoo, shower gel and moisturisers often come in large bottles, which are heavy to carry. I like refilling my liquids into travel-sized bottles. Go and buy your travel-sized bottles now on Amazon.
Regular lotions contain chemicals that hurt corals, whereas the ones labelled as reef-safe will not harm the environment, even when you go swimming. Both formulas are water-resistant, which is something you need to look out for. Sand and water reflect a lot of light, and your eyes will thank you later for any protection you give them.
